Well now anything is possible. Dad would be 111 year old were he still with us. He started driving about 1918. His road stories would fill an encyclopedia. However Farmer has enjoyed a life filled with working with his hands. That way of life Dad never mastered. Fjimp

As a kid when riding in a car with my father he took great delight in explaining those signs were placed as a reminder to help the chief find his long lost son named "Falling Rock." Now how is that for totally useless information:D Fjimp

Traveling North on US 93 just a mile or so north of Polson, Mt. , heading around the West side of Flathead Lake - you can see Mrs. Fallen Rock. While moving along the highway, looking Northwest at a vertical cliff, an individual vertical rock formation resembling a person seems to come out of the cliff, arm up with hand over eyes. Keep on traveling and she disappears back into the cliff.

I had a good time showing that to kids!

Thought of the day. I need to find a conveyor belt so I can make the tank tracks for my parade float. Did you know it is hard to find a used conveyor belt online? There has got to be a supplier of broken belts somewhere :) I just have to find it.

I even thought about going to the good will and looking for a few old treadmills. hmm... This is going to be a fun one.

You might check with local farmers, or maybe a grain elevator, etc to see if they have something to make the tracks out of. I am sure someone has some old belting laying around if you can find it.

I'd look around for an old Caterpillar-type bulldozer or maybe a crane in a junkyard somewhere.
